Portfolio
My concentration throughout my academic career has been in environmental science and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). This portfolio demonstrates a visual progression of my skills in GIS software.
This map and model represent my senior project at UCF. I analyzed six different layers of data to determine the most optimal area for a new Solar Plant in Orange County, Florida. For this model, I used several different analysis tools, including clips, buffers, vector to raster data conversions, cell statistics, and more, showcasing the extent of my GIS skills.
The image on the right showcases my ability to analyze topological data. For this image, I utilized ArcScene and ArcMap to display the drastic land changes that occurred due to the Oso mudslide.
This analysis demonstrates my proficiency in performing least cost path analysis. Utilizing GIS tools, I calculated the optimal routes considering terrain, land cover, and other factors to determine the most efficient paths for infrastructure development. This analysis showcases my ability to apply spatial modeling techniques to real-world scenarios, illustrating my advanced skills in GIS analysis and problem-solving.
Similar to my Senior Project displayed at the top of this page, this analysis demonstrates my capability in performing siting analysis, albeit in a different context. This particular study showcases my proficiency in conducting GIS analysis on environmental issues, focusing on the diminishing optimal habitat areas for animals like the California Gnatcatcher.
This GIS project showcases my skills in data integration, spatial analysis, and cartographic design by utilizing Florida Panther Focus Area data and South Florida land development data to identify and visualize habitat encroachment. Through this project, I demonstrate proficiency in GIS software tools to address environmental conservation issues through professional-quality map creation.
This portfolio received its most recent update on July 7th, 2024. I plan to update it routinely with new content and insights, so please feel welcome to check back periodically for the latest additions.
